The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple at none against WorkBreak's 1. Simple also leads on ads (none vs shown). WorkBreak's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
